i have had the pleasure of travelling the country on behalf of mitt romney. he is an extraordinary human being who i believe would have been a phenomenal president, and we wish him the best in the political process. we are having this conversation, for those of us who believes in limited government, about what is all about and where we stand. let me begin by saying this is not about the republican party. this is about limiting republican conservatism. that is what is debated. let's be clear conservatism has never been decided by presidential elections. in states like this, governors are applying true principles to the modern problems of the 21st century. as i said, if america had a 5% unemployment rate, we would be very happy, as you should be with your governor. you deserve to be congratulated for that. [applause] for those of us in federal office, the question is how you apply the principles of limited government and free enterprise to the 21st century? that is the question we face, and that is what we need to be focused on moving forward. the problem we ar

mitt romney saying you won't see any sunlight between the u.s. and israel. is the u.s. relationship and vice versa a healthy relationship? >> guest: it's a remarkable relationship between one of the nation's that have the small majority in israel and our great country. and it's almost a mystical relationship when you think of how much support we have showered on israel and how much support we get back. it's due to the fact that this is not just jewish support, we're only 2% of the population in the united states. it's because we have shared values, shared enemies and islamic terrorism that many people in the united states view israel as the holy land. not just jews, but non-jews as well. so it's a quite remarkable thing at a time when there is so much polarization between the republicans and democrats, it's one of the few foreign policy issues that actually unite democrats and republicans. >> host: the future of the jews is your book title provocative in any way, and do you mean it to be? >> guest: i mean it to be because the question is can a people who have survived c
